However, the mechanism by which labels contribute to induction remained unclear. According to one theoretical position, often referred to as the naïve theory, even for young children labels presented as count nouns are special properties: even young ...

Infants were tested in one of two groups, a Same Label group in which target and test objects were labeled with the same noun, and a Dis...
